This appendix incorporates the menus that are displayed on the CDM-550T modem’s front panel
for control of monitoring and control of the KST-2000A Satellite Terminal.
The user can fully control and monitor the operation of Comtech EF Data’s KST-2000A Satellite
Terminal from the front panel, using the keypad and display of a CDM-550T modem. Nested
menus display all available options and prompt the user for required actions.
The keypad has six keys, the functions of which are described below:
[
→] (Right Arrow) Moves the cursor to the right, when it is displayed
[
←] (Left Arrow)Moves the cursor to the left, when it is displayed
[
↑]
(Up Arrow) Used for editing the value at the current cursor position, if appropriate. If
this is a numeric field, this will increment the value.
[
↓]
(Down Arrow) Used for editing the value at the current cursor position, if appropriate.
If this is a numeric field, this will decrement the value.
[ENT]
(Enter) Used to accept an edited entry. Most menus prompt the user to press this key,
by displaying the text (PRESS ENTER), (ENTER) or (ENT). This results in the entry
being accepted, and the user is then returned to the previous menu.
[CLR]
(Clear) Used to escape from the current operation and return to the previous menu.
IMPORTANT
The keypad has an auto-repeat feature. If a key is held down for more than 1
second, the key action will repeat, automatically, at the rate of 15 keystrokes
per second. This is particularly useful when editing numeric fields, with many
digits, such as frequency or data rate.
